• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Would you like to plan a trip to Alaska?

    Alaska trip 2008 I went in August/September and it was rainy, so may be earlier in June/July to get better weather. You will probably hit stretches of road construction, but on 3 wheels no problem. I rode up thru Glacier NP, Banff, Jasper, Whitehorse, Dawson City on the Top of the World...

    Would you like to plan a trip to Alaska?

    Alaska trip 2008 I rode my Spyder from Iowa to Alaska in 2008 for 4 weeks. 6 to 8 weeks would be a nice pace. Most of the roads are paved and the Spyder did fine. I rode the haul road to the Artic Circle which is gravel and the traction control system got a workout in the slippery mud. Most...

    lost spyder's rear fender...

    Rear Fender I had the stock tire at recommended pressure and at 18,000 miles my rear brackets cracked. There was some evidence that the I7 / Givi side bags brackets were hitting the rear fender brackets. I would suggest that people check their rear fender brackets periodically.

    DOH!

    Steering upgrade I had mine uploaded yesterday and NO problems. It has been cool in the 70's here so I can't do a hot test.

    Think this would work with a spyder

    India I was in Ahmedabad India for 6 months and this is a very common sight. The driver is suppose to wear a helmet. A lot of the helmets look like jockey helmets. We saw 6 on a motorbike. Most of the bikes are 160cc so a Spyder would be huge. I am going back for anothe r6 months but I am...

    Check your rear fender

    Rear fender / I7 mounts I had removed the backing plate before the photos. The backing plate for the fender does not have any damage. It looks like the Industries 7 mounting rack hits the top and side of the rear fender mounting brackets and pinches them together and that stresses the fender...

    Check your rear fender

    Rear fender / I7 mounts I have an Industries 7 rack mount for the GIVI bags. The rack hits the rear fender support arms and that is what cracked the fender mounting holes. I will have to see about modifying the rack after I set the rear shock up. I also won't be packing as heavy as the 4 week...
